Mr Dangly was created as a birthday present for a friend of mine, so I had to give him away as soon as I finished him . I'm tempted to make another one. I miss him!Here is the pattern. If you make one PLEASE post a picture! I would love to see more Mr Danglys!

TAILCast on 35 st in MINK.Working in stocking stitch:Work 10 rows.Cast off.Seam up cast off and cast on edges.Sew up one end of tail. Do not stuff.Attach to body - see pictures for guide

FINISHINGSew on buttons for eyes.To make hair tufts, cut 4 x 10cm strands of MINK yarn.Holding lengths all together, fold in half to make a loop.Push crochet hook through a stitch midway between the ears at top of head.Hook through loop and pull strands through stitch halfway.Take the ends of the strands and pull them through the loop. Pull tightly to secure tuft.Repeat with 2 more tufts either side, and one in front. Trim hair to desired length.

The best tip I can give you is to find someone who can knit, and ask them to teach you! It's infinitely easier than trying to teach yourself from a book. Start with something really easy. I recommend a book called Knit a Square & Make a Toy. Good luck!

K2, INC1, K2 INC1, K2, INC1 -- this will make 12 st.

INC1 means knit back of the stitch (like normal), but don't slip the stitch from the left needle. Then knit again on the front of the stitch.

Hope this help. If not, take a look at knittinghelp.com and look at the video.
